Why go
Hilltop villages, markets and lavender, best explored by car.
Provence rewards a slow, car-based loop between small towns rather than a single base with day trips. Markets set the daily rhythm and the food is the point.
Signature experiences
- Luberon village loop by car
- Roussillon ochre trails
- Avignon papal palace
